Tech Stack

The honest version of my stack — what I reach for, not what I'd put in a resume. Organized by what the tool does, not who makes it.

Editor & terminal

• Editor: VS Code with Claude Code extension.
• Terminal: iTerm2 + zsh + Starship prompt.
• CLI tools: ripgrep, fd, bat, eza, fzf, zoxide, jq, gh.

Languages

• Python: uv for everything — package management, venvs, Python install. Ruff for lint+format. Pytest for tests.
• TypeScript: Next.js (App Router), React 19, Tailwind 4. pnpm for monorepo-like trees, npm for single apps.

AI

• Coding agent: Claude Code.
• Chat models: Claude (Opus for hard work, Sonnet for fast iteration). GPT for image gen and second opinions.
• API SDK: @anthropic-ai/sdk with prompt caching enabled.
• RAG: OpenAI embeddings (text-embedding-3-small), pgvector or local JSON depending on scale.

Infra

• Hosting: Vercel for frontend, AWS for storage/compute.
• Storage: S3 with two-bucket pattern (private canonical + public serving mirror).
• DNS: Route 53.
• Auth: AWS Cognito for personal projects; Clerk for production apps.

Data

• Warehouse: Snowflake.
• Transform: dbt.
• Local analysis: DuckDB + Jupyter.

Personal

• Notes: This wiki + Obsidian for daily drafts that may or may not graduate here.
• Tasks: Apple Reminders.
• Reading: Insights library for PDFs; book notes live in Reading.
